A short review of some of the books marked (*) follows: 
Andre. Pares et jardins. This book is very valuable to the landscape stu- 
dent for the material it contains on theory of landscape design. Chapters which 
deserve special mention are chapter 6, on composition; chapter 9, on carrying 
out of landscape work which also includes some valuable data on planting. 
Bailey. Cyclopedia of Horticulture. This set of books is a necessity in 
ever} 7 ' landscape office or school where this subject is taught because of the 
information on practically every plant known. 
Bissett. Water Gardening. A good standard work on water gardening and 
of much use for people interested in this subject. 
Blanchan. American Flower Garden. Sums up in a very concise way the 
general principles of landscape gardening in x\merica. 
Blomeleld. The Formal Garden in England. Without any doubt the best 
book of recent years dealing with the special subject of landscape gardening. The 
general principles underlying formal and informal design are well explained. 
Bright. English Flower Garden. A short concise and accurate description 
of the growth of landscape gardening in England. 
Burnap. Parks. A very valuable book dealing with the general principles 
of park design giving good examples of each type. 
Cable. Amateur Garden. This book ought to be of interest to everyone 
owning a home. Probably no one has done so much for city beautification as Mr. 
Cable. 
Dow. Composition. A very good workable presentation of the subject of 
composition which because of the scarcity of books dealing with this subject and 
its application stands almost alone. 
Downing. Landscape Gardening. A well written and interesting book
